Service Pack version not reported in XPE SP1

[Guest]

My application installer checks the OS and SP version before installing. On XP it checks for SP1, but fails the check on XPE
I wrote a little app to use GetVersionEx () to populate an OSVERSIONINFOEX structure. This showed that the service pack version was reported as 0, even though the build version on the desktop is build 2600.xpsp2...
The System control panel applet shows 'Microsoft Windows XP Embedded version 2002'
